PAMED Statement on Violence at UPMC Memorial Hospital

PAMED is deeply saddened by the tragic act of violence that occurred at the UPMC Memorial Hospital this weekend. Health care workers are already overworked and understaffed and should not have to worry about enduring such terrible incidents. Our thoughts are with those affected and their families, wishing them strength and peace.

Through its Foundation, PAMED is available to offer support for physicians and other healthcare professionals who may benefit from talking to someone to process the tragedy that has occurred. In addition, there are other resources on the . For help, reach out to: php-foundation@pamedsoc.org or (866) 747-2255
